Since our mild winter was put on hold the last few days,I have to admit,it was pretty easy to curl up on the couchand page through some of my favorite magazines....winter does have it's perks!

Surprisingly, I even braved the cold for a quick makeover.This old (and heavy!) cement base used to hold a birdbath tray.

It was a great pedestal, but with such a narrow top,it wasn't very practical for holding anything.

I was at a loss as to how I could attach anything to the top of the pedestal..I didn't want to drill into it for fear of cracking it.

I got lucky and found a metal piece of some kind that fit snugly over the "neck"and would allow me to secure some kind of top piece to it.

She definitely needed some kind of top...but what would work?

On a whim, I decided to try this old round grate...

It fit perfectly over the metal cap.I love the rust and the swirls.I love the contrast of the metal and the cement.Now, she is a one of a kind table.

Set by a patio chair, she would work great to hold a cup of coffee,or a potted plant...or a statue...or top her with a piece of glass and she would make a unique bedside table.

Oh yes will be at the show. This is considered a national holiday in my junking calendar. I will be on the search for funky-junk storage options and anything else that screams "TAKE ME HOME!". Email: travelingtrunk98@gmail.com

Yes I will be there, we had so much fun last year as "newbies" to JunkFest. I am currently on the lookout for mini-vintage medicine bottles, perfume bottles, etc...for "vases" for my daughter "Vintage/Shabby Chic" wedding in July! Also looking for vintage ivory colored doilies for under the larger vases. :)

Wahoo!!! I am so honored they used my comment in the Flea Market Style magazine! You ladies sooo deserve it I absolutely LOVE Junk Fest. I have found the coolest things to accessorize my house with, and can't wait to come this next fall! I posted a pic of the windows is bought on my FB page, but I can't seem to figure out how to share them on your Junk Fest home page. If you would like to see them friend me and share them to your JF FB page. So fun. :)
